[UP Disney]

I HAVE JUST BEEN NOTIFIED!!!!



Pal Mickey is in route!



What day will he be here? Can't answer this one!

What we will be wearing that day? Kristine will have to answer this one

Will we have a surprise party for him? He deserves one!!!

Should I have a cleaning service come in before he arrives? No need. He accepts all of the DDA as they are!!

Will he enjoy pizza and movie night? Absolutely. He loves pizza and movie night.

How does he feel about gymnastic class? I'm sure he'll love watching all the girls!!!

Is he afraid of airplane? He better not be because he's got lots of trips planned.

Will he, Tyra and Anelavee all get alone? He gets along with everyone.

Should I go rent him his own bed? No, he loves to sleep on others beds with his blankie!!!

What is his favorite food? I think this is in his book. You'll have to read it when you get it.

Does he like Ice Cream? Loves it! Just don't let him eat too much. He could get a belly ache.

Does he like time at the pool? Loves it! Make sure he doesn't get too much sun. We don't want him to get a sunburn you know.

Would he mind visiting Ellie’s class? Hey, he loves school.

Will he like our family? If I had to make a guess, ..... hmmmmmm ..... this is a tough one ..... I'm sure he'll love you as much as the rest of the DDA do.



So many questions!!!! So little time to figure them all out.



I CAN DO IT!

OMG!!!!

DH used to be the director of community affairs for a local homebuilder - he left his job about a year ago - at the time we knew it was the best decision ever - today that was confirmed

the homebuilder had 76 employees arrested at jobsites today in an illegal immigrant raid - a culmination of a 2 year investigation - supposedly they went to the headquarters and sent all non-management employees home - interviewing the management team and looking through files

DH had nothing to do with hiring and did not know anything about this - but he would have been stuck at work today and since he was the point person with government officials and press - he would have been in the middle of it!!

 

[UP Disney]

answered in order:

Don't know

Don't know

Knowing you yes

If it's mine(and I think it is) he's used to clutter so no

most definitely....means family time!!

don't know

I hope not!

yes!! He loves kids.....will the girls get along and share him that's another ball of wax!!
ETA: I just realized you put the pets names not the girls!! As long as he doesn't see Tyras teeth I think they will get along!! Or try and take a bath with the fishies.

Nope he loves to cuddle

that should be answered in his bio, if not ask his family they can tell you

yummy, ice cream

just as long as he doesn't get to close he loves to sunbathe!!

Please take him for show & tell

Of course he will love your family we all do!!!

I should have kept reading to see if you had answered since it is your pal that is visiting her. Sorry!!!! Well, the answers are basically the same anyway. Good thing we share a brain!!!

How relieved are you that he left that job! I'm so relieved for you! What a scary thing!

Theresa --

Paula -- congratulations to your DH and for the upcoming ceremony!

Kate -- what a close call... like you said, just for him having to be in the middle of it all would have been terrible! Isn't it nice when big decisions are reaffirmed?

Afternoon all.
Hope everyone is doing good today.
Today was the signing for sellers.
Buyers will sign Thursday.
I took the day off.
Just to much going on lately.
I needed a me day.
I went shopping for some smaller clothes for me.
I hate clothes shopping.
Why do jeans need to be so big in the waist.
Size 10 goes over my bum but is huge on my waist.
Size 8 won't go over my bum.
What the H?
Slacks are fine size 8.
Who makes womens clothes anyway.
Must be men.
Well I'm going back to catch up.

 

[tink2020]

Pretty close to 31,000!

Shana-my prayers are with you and your entire family.

Kristine-baby Nathan is beautiful!!!

Denise-continued prayers for Rees. (I did make it to the PO finally)


I am behind again trying to get caught up at work but I really need some advise. Please tell me if I am I over reacting to this:

Saturday was my birthday and Lizzie was upset that she didn't have a gift for me so I asked DH to take her to a small local bookstore when he went out to run a errand. When they came home I heard DH & Lizzie discussing a Soduko book they bought for me (I am a numbers gal so I would have really liked it). When they gave me the gifts there was a presidents sticker book from Lizzie (my DH is a history buff and he said I could do it with Lizzie and maybe I'd learn something too-nice huh?) and an early reader history book about 2 local girls who scared off the British by playing the fife and drum from Joe & Emma. I had told DH the trip was my gift so he didn't need to get me anything. I asked DH later what happened to the Soduko book and he said he couldn't find it when they were wrapping the gifts. Lizzie had taken it. It is now on her desk. I told her that she really hurt my feelings by taking a gift that was meant for me-especially when she knows what I have planned for her birthday. I'm really hurt by her but am I expecting too much from a 6 (nearly 7) year old? I'm really mad at DH for allowing her to get away with this and for allowing her to treat me like this. How can not see how bad it is for her to think this behavior is OK? Now I don't even really want to go away with her. I am considering canceling the trip and using the Southwest credit to purchase air for the family trip. I've spoken to Lizzie about it several times but she still hasn't given up the book that isn't hers. I don't think I should just take it from her. DH said he's spoken to her twice but I don't see how he ever let this happen in the first place.

Is this all just about a stupid book? I think it so much more. I just don't know what to do/how to react.

Mother's Day is coming..........

ETA: posted before reading further. I just thought perhaps she was saving it for Mother's Day.

Good morning everyone! I thought everyone might need a laugh today. This video was posted on the CB but I know a lot of people here don't venture over there so I thought I'd post the link. You'll need sound so if you're at work turn the volume down a bit so you don't get caught

This guy has some good moves! I especially like the part after Kung Fu Fighting .

I did some reading last night trying to catch up but I didn't take notes so I'm off to try to catch up again. Hope you all have a great day!!

Way cool

 

[yellowfish78]

I am sssooo excited! DH will be graduating from the SNCOA (Senior Non Commissioned Officer Academy) 24 May and I am going to the graduation!

After 16 years in myself I finally bought a Mess Dress (formal uniform) and I can’t wait to wear it. Well I hope I get to wear it, I can seem to locate the formal shirt in my size, the clothing sales at my base has it on back order and so does the online shop. I have been in the thrift shop also, but no luck. I hope I find one so I can wear the Mess Dress because (did I say it already) I am sssooooo excited!


Do a little dance!!!!

Did I tell you all this uniform cost me over $300.00, OMG my pocket book is in great pain!) but with the chunky monkey off my belly I can use this uniform time and time again at formal functions!

Do a little dance!!!!

For your enjoyment I will take pictures of DH and myself looking our most FABULOUS Air Force selves in our Mess Dress uniforms. (grad night is not until the 24th so don’t be asking me for pics before that, I could post pics, but they wouldn’t be of me and DH)



Do a little dance!!!!

What about another Air Force BX? March AFB, Lackland AFB in TX...they might mail it to you if you can find them online. I called my aunt in San Diego and she mentioned these...

 

[tink2020]

So we're watching the new Pride & Prejudice .... I'll tell you all what I think in a couple of hours

Mother's Day is coming..........

I guess you and I are sharing the brain today. That was my first reaction as well.

[UP Disney]

Ooh, it's Elvis night on AI. I can't wait to see Taylor's performance plus I get to listen to Elvis songs. What could be better than that??!!!

 

[bethbuchall]

Theresa--I'm so sorry that you had to cancel your Disney trip this summer. Here's to a wonderful time next year!

Kate--I am so glad that your dh left that job and didn't have to be involved in this mess!
